In the Examples and Reference examples, room temperature means usually 10 to 30° C. 1H-NMR means proton nuclear magnetic resonance. It is measured with tetramethyl silane as internal standard, and chemical shift (δ) is shown by ppm.
The abbreviations used in the Examples and Reference examples have the following meanings:
CDCl3: Chloroform-d, s: singlet, d: doublet, t: triplet, q: quartet, dt: doublet triplet, dq: doublet quartet, m: multiplet, br.: broad, J: coupling constant, Me: methyl group, Et: ethyl group, Pr: propyl group, i-Pr: isopropyl group, t-Bu: tert-butyl group, c-Hex: cyclohexyl group and Ph: phenyl group.
After 50 mL of water, 4.657 g of potassium hydroxide (content, 85%) and 5 mL of 1,4-dioxane were added to 3.193 g of 4-(2-ethylphenyl)-5-methoxy-2-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone (Compound II-1), the mixture was stirred and heated under reflux for 36 hours. After cooling, concentrated hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction mixture to acidify, to which 10 ml of water and 100 ml of ethyl acetate were added. The resulting mixture was filtered to remove insoluble substances and the filtrate was separate to two phase. The organic layer was washed with water and then a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off. The solid obtained was washed with a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and hexane (1:2) to yield 2.050 g of the title compound as colorless crystals.
The present compound which was produced according to Example 1 will be shown in Table 1.

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 13 mL of a tetrahydrofuran solution of potassium tert-butoxide (1 mol/L) was stirred at room temperature, to which a solution of 1.9 g of ethyl 2-[2-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenylacetyl)-2-methylhydrazono]propanoate (Compound VI-2) in 55 mL of toluene was added dropwise over about 1 hour. The mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue obtained was added 30 mL of ice-water, which was extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether (20 mL×2). To the aqueous layer was then added 1.6 g of 35% hydrochloric acid, which was extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL×3). The ethyl acetate extracts were combined, washed with saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution (20 mL×2), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was subjected to a silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:3 as eluent) to yield 0.76 g of a solid. The solid was washed with cold hexane and air-dried to yield 0.59 g of the title compound as white powder.
The present compound which was produced according to Example 2 will be shown in Table 2.

A plastic cup with a diameter of 8 cm and a depth of 6.5 cm was filled with commercially available soil, onto which seeds of Lolium multiflorum were sowed, covered with soil about 0.5 cm high and then grown in a greenhouse. When the plants were grown in first to second leaf stage, a prescribed dosage of a dilute liquid formulation comprising Compound I-a-1 was sprayed to whole plants uniformly. The dilute liquid formulation was prepared by dissolving a prescribed amount of Compound I-a-1 in a dimethylformamide solution (2%) of Tween 20 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, from MP Biomedicals, Inc.) and then diluting with deionized water. The plants after treatment with the liquid formulation were grown in a greenhouse and 20 days after the treatment, the efficacy of the compound against Lolium multiflorum was visually evaluated by rating in eleven levels from 0 to 10 (assigned as 0 for no effect and 10 for complete death while values falling in between these values were rated from 1 to 9 levels accordingly).
The other present compounds and Compound A described in J. Heterocycl. Chem., vol. 42, pp. 427-435 (2005) as a comparative example were similarly tested.

A plastic container (32 cm×22 cm×8 cm in height) was filled with soil sterilized by steam, onto which seeds of Apera spica-venti were sowed and covered with soil about 0.5 cm high. A prescribed dosage of a dilute liquid formulation comprising Compound I-a-1 was sprayed to the soil surface uniformly. The dilute liquid formulation was prepared by the method similar to that in Test example 1. The plants after treatment with the liquid formulation were grown in a greenhouse and three weeks after the treatment, the efficacy of the compound against Apera spica-venti was visually evaluated by rating in eleven levels from 0 to 10 similarly to Test example 1.
The other present compounds and Compound A as a comparative example were similarly tested.
As a result, Compounds I-a-1, I-a-2, I-a-4, I-a-5, I-a-6, I-a-8, I-a-9, I-a-10, I-b-1, I-b-5, I-b-6, I-b-7 and I-b-11 showed the effect equal to 8 or more at a treatment dosage of 500 g/ha, where as Compounds I-a-12, I-a-13, I-a-14, I-a-15, I-a-16, I-a-17, I-a-18, I-a-19, I-a-20, I-a-21, I-a-22, I-a-23, I-b-13, I-b-14, I-b-16, I-b-18, I-b-19, I-b-20, I-b-21, I-b-22 and I-b-23 showed the effect equal to 8 or more at a treatment dosage of 250 g/ha.
